Chapters & Groups

The MCAA has promoted the creation of Chapters in different geographic regions as a way of facilitating communication with its members and engaging them in the development of the association. MCAA Chapters are established to:

Encourage local networking and establish mutually-beneficial relationships between the MCAA and its alumni within a defined georgaphic zone;

Initiate activities that add value to the Alumni network and input to the general body;

Recruit, attract, support and facilitate connections between MC fellows and alumni;

Events Calendar

September 2019

Our next monthly hang-out in Warsaw will happen on Friday 6 September at our usual time & venue: 6 pm, Legends at Emilii Plater. Everyone is welcome to come, regardless of signing up via Doodle - but big thanks to those, who have signed up! As usual, drinks are free for MCAA members.

In a fast-paced world, extreme mobility is a norm in researchers' lives. Mobility is deemed beneficial for career development because it widens the professional networks; yet, it also makes them shallow. The main challenge researchers face is thus not so much how to build a wide range of connections, but how to nurture them.

Our webinar will explore the range of possibilities open to researchers who move back and forth across the Atlantic.
